Application filed July so, 1920. Serial No. 400,268.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, ALBERT A.-Lo oxwoo1), a citizen of the United States, resldln like, and wherein the nursing bottle may be located and securely held for the use of the infant, without the attention of any at tendant.

In the drawings:

' V. Figure 1 is a perspective view, showing the device in use on a crib.

Fig. 2 is a detail of the holder apart from the crib.

Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. 4 is an edge elevation.

The invention consists of a cross-bar 1',

adapted to lie across the side rails of a crib, baby carriage or the like, where it may be secured by means of the'straps 3 which pass through slots 4 in the ends of the cross bar 1 and around the side rails 2. The cross bar 1 is provided with a medial sloping trough or cavity 5 which conforms in general to the in the city of New Haven and State of onshape of a nursing bottle 10, and extends across the bar and is lower or deeper at one end 6 than at the opposite end 7. A twopiece strap 8-8 extends from the bar 1 from opposite-sides of the trough 5 and the free ends are joined across the trough by a buckle 9. The nursing bottle 10 is laid "on its side in the trough 5, with the mouth 11 at the lower or deeper part of the trough,

thus permitting the milk to flow entirely out of the bottle. The bottle is secured in the trough 5 by means of the strap 8-8.

While I have herein described a certain specific method of constructing and assembling the elements of my invention, it is invention as defined in the appended claim.

What I claim to be newfa'nd patentable is:

A nursing bottle holder for cribs, comprising a cross bar; a strap at each end thereof for securing the bar to the crib; a

sloping trough formed in the bar to hold the nursing bottle; and straps extended acrossl understood same may be varied in minor details, not departing from the spirit of my the trough as means for securing the nursing bottle therein.
